This is a division of application Ser. No. 07/596,251, filed Oct. 12, 1990 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,210,197.
The present invention relates to new substituted aminals, several processes for their preparation and their use in agents for combating pests, in particular as fungicides.
It is already known that certain substituted 2-cyano-2-oximino-acetamides have a good fungicidal activity (compare, for example, European Patent 0,201,999, DE-OS (German Published Specification) 2,312,956 and DE-OS (German Published Specification) 3,602,243). However, the action of these compounds is not always completely satisfactory, especially when low amounts and concentrations are applied.

n represents 0 or 1,
R1 represents optionally substituted alkyl, substituents which may be mentioned being: halogen, cyano, --COORI, --CONRII RIII, --ORIV, acyl, optionally substituted aryl and in each case optionally substituted cycloalkyl and heterocyclyl; or
R1 furthermore represents in each case optionally substituted alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl,
R2 represents hydrogen, or represents optionally substituted alkyl, substituents which may be mentioned being: cyano, alkoxy, alkylthio, --COORI, acylamino and in each case optionally substituted aryl, cycloalkyl and heterocyclyl; or
R2 furthermore represents in each case optionally substituted alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl, or represents in each case optionally substituted aryl or heterocyclyl,

R4 represents hydrogen, or represents optionally substituted alkyl, substituents which may be mentioned being: halogen, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulphinyl, alkylsyulphonyl, acyloxy, acylamino, cyano, --COORI and in each optionally substituted aryl, cycloalkyl and heterocyclyl; or furthermore represents in each case optionally substituted alkenyl or alkynyl; or R4 furthermore represents in each case optionally bridged and/or fused and in each case optionally substituted cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl, or represents in each case optionally fused and in each case optionally substituted aryl or heterocyclyl, or represents in each case optionally substituted aryloxy or arylthio, or represents alkoxycarbonyl, or represents 1-cycloalkoximino, --OR5, --SR5 or --NR6 R7, or

R6 represents hydrogen, or represents optionally substituted alkyl, substituents which may be form of various geometric isomers, depending on the arrangement of the substituents on the C═N grouping (E- or Z-isomer). Both the pure Z- and E-isomers and mixtures thereof are claimed according to the invention.
Where appropriate, the compounds have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms; they can thus also be in the form of enantiomers or diastereomers, which can be obtained in various proportions. They are predominantly obtained as racemates. Both the pure enantiomers and diastereomers and the mixtures are claimed according to the invention.
For simplicity, compounds of the formula (I) are always referred to below, although both the pure compounds and the mixtures with various contents of isomeric, enantiomeric and diastereomeric compounds are meant.
It has furthermore been found that the new substituted aminals of the general formula (I) ##STR3## in which A, n, R1, R2, R3 and R4 have the abovementioned meanings, are obtained by a process in which
a) 2-cyano-2-oximinocarbonyl compounds of the formula (II) ##STR4## in which R1 has the abovementioned meaning and

R8 represents hydrogen, methyl or acetyl,
if appropriate in the presence of an acid and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent; or

if appropriate in the presence of a base and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent.
The compounds of the formula (Ia) according to the invention ##STR10## in which R1, R3 and R4 have the abovementioned meanings, are obtained by a process in which

and with formaldehyde,
if appropriate in the presence of a diluent.
The compounds of the formula (Ib) according to the invention ##STR13## in which R1, R2, R4 and A have the abovementioned meanings, are obtained by a process in which
e) N-(2-cyano-2-oximino-acetyl)-aminals of the formula ##STR14## in which R1 and R2 have the abovementioned meanings and HY represents the equivalent of an inorganic or organic acid,
are reacted with an acylating reagent of the formula (IX)

in which
R4 and A have the abovementioned meanings and

Finally, it has been found that the new substituted aminals have, inter alia, potent fungicidal properties. Surprisingly, the compounds according to the invention exhibit a more potent action in this respect that the substituted 2-cyano-2-oximinoacetamides known from the prior art, which are closely related compounds structurally and from the point of view of their action. The substances according to the invention thus represent an enrichment of the art.

The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range in process (d) according to the invention. The reaction is in general carried out at temperatures from -20°C to +120°C, preferably at temperatures from 0°C to +100°C
In carrying out process (d) according to the invention, equimolar amounts are preferably used, but it is also possible for one of the three components used to be employed in a relatively large excess. The reaction is carried out and the products are worked up by generally customary methods, and the reaction products are isolated, if appropriate, by chromatography.
The active compounds according to the invention exhibit a potent microbicidal action and can be employed in practice for combating undesirable microorganisms. The active compounds are suitable for use as agents for combating pests, in particular as fungicides.
Fungicidal agents in plant protection are employed, for example, for combating Plasmodiophoromycetes, Oomycetes, Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidomycetes and Deuteromycetes.

The active compounds can be converted into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, very fine capsules in polymeric substances and in coating compositions for seed, as well as ULV cold mist and warm mist formulations.
These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example, by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid solvents, liquefied gases under pressure, and/or solid carries, optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is, emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents, and/or foam-forming agents. In the case of the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents. As liquid solvents, there are suitable in the main: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strong polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, as well as water; by liquefied gaseous extenders or carriers are meant liquids which are gaseous at ambient temperature and under atmospheric pressure, for example aerosol propellants, such as halogenated hydrocarbons as well as butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide; as solid carriers there are suitable: for example ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clay, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly disperse silica, alumina and silicates; as solid carriers for granules there are suitable: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, corn cobs and tobacco stalks; as emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there are suitable: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkysulphonates, alky sulphates, arylsulphonates as well as albumin hydrolysis products; as dispersing agents there are suitable: for example ligninsulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Other additives can be mineral and vegetable oils.
It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussion Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
The formulations in general contain between 0.1 and 95 percent by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.
The active compounds according to the invention can be present in the formulations or in the various use forms as a mixture with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, bactericides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, herbicides, bird repellents, growth factors, plant nutrients and agents for improving soil structure.
The active compounds can be used as such or in the form of their formulations or the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, pastes and granules. They are used in the customary manner, for example by watering, immersion, spraying, atomizing, misting, vaporizing, injecting, forming a slurry, brushing on, dusting, scattering, dry dressing, moist dressing, wet dressing, slurry dressing or encrusting.
In the treatment of parts of plants, the active compound concentrations in the use forms can be varied within a substantial range. They are, in general, between 1 and 0.0001% by weight, preferably between 0.5 and 0.001%.
In the treatment of seed, amounts of active compound of 0.001 to 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably 0.01 to 10 g, are generally required.
For the treatment of soil, active compound concentrations of 0.00001 to 0.1% by weight, preferably 0.0001 to 0.02% by weight, are required at the place of action.

The residue is taken up in 200 ml of ethyl acetate and 70 ml of water and the organic phase is separated off, washed with 70 ml each of 1N hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and water and dried over sodium sulphate.
Chromatography on silica gel 60 with methylene chloride as the mobile phase gives 8.2 g (30% of theory) of (E)-2-cyano-2-methyoximino-N-(phthalimidomethyl)acetamide of melting point 150°-152°C
PAC (Process (b))6.55 g (0.05 mol) of (E)-2-cyano-2-methyoximinoacetamide and 5.75 g (0.05 mol) of N-hydroxymethyl-2-pyrrolidone are suspended in 75 ml of concentrated acetic acid, and 11.25 g (0.11 mol) of concentrated sulphuric acid are added dropwise at a temperature of 20°-25°C (while cooling). The mixture is then stirred at room temperature for a further 28 hours.
100 ml of ice-water are carefully added to the reaction mixture and the mixture is extracted 5 times with 100 ml of methylene chloride each time. The combined extracts are dried over sodium sulphate. After removal of the solvent by distillation, the residue is recrystallized from water.
7.95 g (70% of theory) of N-[(E)-2-cyano-2-methoximinoacetamidomethyl]-2-pyrrolidone of melting point 160°-162°C are obtained.
